Argument day podcasts: FCC v. AT&T

By Adam Schlossman

Continuing our series of podcasts on oral argument days, we have two podcasts with attorneys who filed briefs on both sides of FCC v. AT&T.

The Freedom of Information Act has an exception that permits the government to withhold information gathered during law enforcement investigations if disclosing the information would constitute an invasion of ?personal privacy.?  At issue in the case is whether the exemption applies to protect the privacy of a corporation.

For COMPTEL, which filed a brief as a respondent in support of petitioners FCC and the United States, its counsel:

Mary C. Albert, COMPTEL.

For respondent AT&T Inc., its counsel:

Geoffrey M. Klineberg, Kellogg, Huber, Hansen, Todd Evans & Figel, P.L.L.C.
